…By Larry John for TDPel Media. Salihu Lukman, the National Vice Chairman (North West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has leveled accusations against the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu.
Lukman claims that Adamu has been fostering resentment against the party’s selection of the National Assembly’s leadership.
Ignoring Party Decisions
According to Lukman, Adamu refused to adhere to the party’s decision to support Godswill Akpabio as Senate President and Tajudeen Abbas as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Lukman further states that the party chairman did not campaign for the party’s chosen candidates and distanced himself from the party’s position.
Lack of Guidelines and Intervention
Lukman criticizes the Adamu-led National Working Committee (NWC) for failing to develop guidelines, as required by the party’s constitution, to guide the selection process for the National Assembly’s leadership.
Instead, the NWC approached the matter without any specific guidelines.
Lukman suggests that President Muhammadu Buhari’s intervention prevented a potential disaster.
Putting Party Above Personal Desires
The APC chieftain emphasizes the need for party leaders to prioritize the country’s welfare over personal ambitions.
Lukman explains that the decision to support a Muslim-Muslim ticket during the party’s campaign was a strategic move, but it necessitated ensuring that the diversity of the country was recognized in the selection of National Assembly leaders and other branches of government.
Mobilizing Resentment and Lack of Support
Lukman accuses Adamu of mobilizing opposition against the party’s decisions and failing to campaign for the party’s chosen candidates.
Instead, the party chairman claimed that more consultations were needed.
Lukman points out the repercussions of such actions, highlighting a meeting between the party’s governors and Adamu as evidence of the Chairman’s divergence from the party’s position.
Communication and Resolution
Lukman questions why Adamu did not utilize his position as a leader to communicate directly with Senator Akpabio and Hon. Abbas to address his concerns.
Lukman suggests that Adamu could have queried the candidates and sought clarification from them, or even discussed the issues with Asiwaju, referring to Bola Tinubu.
Conclusion:
Salihu Lukman’s allegations against Abdullahi Adamu, the National Chairman of the APC, shed light on a dispute within the party over the selection of the National Assembly’s leadership.
Lukman accuses Adamu of undermining the party’s choices, failing to campaign for the selected candidates, and mobilizing opposition against the party’s decisions.
The lack of clear guidelines and communication within the party have added fuel to this internal conflict.
